The new ideas on bow to secure liquor are breaking every now and then, and the constables ami police are continually flgnrill on bow to intercept the illegal traine.

On tho 20th B. R. Kelley, of tho Now Hope sec tion, picked me up in Seneca and drove me out to his father's, whore I spent the night and day most pleas antly. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Kelley have a lovely home and ure 'blessed with all tho comforts of life-made hy hard licks and economy. Now they havo reached the point where they can stop and rest and enjoy, In tho evening of their lives, what they have accumulated. They havo ten living children. Fight are married and have homes of their own, the two youngest being 13. R. and Miss Kan-Annie. This is a good place to stop. If you aro cold, you will be ushered before a blazing fire; If hungry they-will feed you; thirsty, they will give you drink; if sick, they will minister unto you. And If you are troubled with King Saul's aillietion their little daughter will go j to the plano and play tho evil spirit I off. I Late iii the afternoon my friend, Fulton Hunnicutt, drove his flne car down and wheeled me to his homo, "The Oaks," where I spent several days. I have told you 'bc-1 foro about his home and the pleasant associations that cluster there. So, by invitation, I wont over to enjoy thc Ch Hst mas-tide with tho family. They live on tho very best they pro duce, and enjoy life In the full ac ceptation of the terni. Three school teachers board In this home. two ladies and one man. who are teach ing tho young archers of the New Hope school how to shoot. 'May they set the standard high! The boys and girls of to-day will be the men and women of to-morrow; they will be the ?mos that will have lo take care of tho church and State after the older hoads have "passed over." While everybody was enjoying the anniversary of the hirth of our Sav iour and our Lord, and the many nice things that Santa Claus dropped while passing, the angel of death spread his wings over the neighbor hood in thc untimely death of Miss /ella Hongs, which1 sont a wave of sadness over the eui ire community. IS ve ry heart was made sad and every home mourns her departure. Death is indeed sad-we are never ready to receive the shock-but don'hly so when one so young and beautiful ls snatched away suddenly, without time to leave a message. She had bright hopes as to what the future would bring to her, as she went speeding down the highway, enjoy ing the love of her friends, blood flowing through her veins like quicksilver, singing to lier thc sweet song ol' life. She was just budding Into young womanhood, lovely and beloved ?by all who knew her. She was enjoying the tfpring-time of her life, while the hirds were singing, the flowers of youth blooming, na ture smiling, and thc breezes gently fanning her youthful brow. This young girl had walked but a little way where tho multitudes press, but she had reached far enough to 'be come the center of many fond hopes. Rut Cod gathers tho most fragrant flowers from His earthly garden and transplants them into the beautiful "vases" prepared for them hy the river of life. But tho grief of her beloved mo ther is heart-rending. The love of a mother for her child is without limit-the holiest thing alive. We can only weep with those who weep; we beg to'sympathize with the rela tives and fond friends of this lovely young girl. May God's comforting grace abide with each of them in this sad hour of their lives. The one who has gone before was lovely, gen tle as the air of evening when it floats among the trees. .J.

Washington, Feb. 1.-National registration of women available for work on tarma is planned by the De partment of Labor as one of the steps in a campaign to secure a suf ficiency of farm labor for every sec tion of the country during the com ing season. A. L. Borkman, chief ol tho divis ion of farm service;, announced to night that every effort would be made to meet tho expected shortage of farm labor by a plan to mobilize the available ?nen and women in every community in the country. Heavy snows In the Middle West, he said, would mean a large wheat crop, and if the favorable weather continued one of the biggest yields on record may be expected. A special farm service man will be stationed in most of the 91-Federal employment agencies of the country, Mr. Rerkman said, and, in addition, post ornees of all the farming com munities will be used as recruiting offices, the postmaster or some other representative citizen acting as com munity labor agent. St io ctn ge in Fast. "The most serious farm labor shortage last year was in the east," said Mr. 'Rerkman. "The Industries there tilling war orders took men who otherwise would have - been available for farm work by the offer Of attractive wages. The farmer will have to increase wages mu Ch more than they have to get men to come from the cities. They hnve not rais ed wages anywhere in proportion to their increase in prollts. "Women,*' Mr. Rerkman contln udd, "will be needed for truck gar dening, fruit gathering, dairying and oth?r light forms of labor, but they will not be called upon for the heavy work so long as men are available. "The college girls and the women of the leisure classes who are ready to resjiond to a call tor workers as a matter of patriotic, service." Mr. Rerkman said, "must be depended I upon chiefly for the women labor that will be needed." For Infants and Children Sn Use For Over 30 Years Always bears tbe Signature of Curd of Thanks. Salem.
